Chapter 128

    Mia had quicklye up with a usible excuse.


    Noticing Connor’s lingering suspicion, she deftly changed the topic, “Connor, how did you figure out it


    was


    Timothy who apanied me to the hospital?”


    Even though Mia had referenced her role as a caregiver in an affluent household, Timothy had


    maintained


    discretion on the matter.


    So, how did Connor immediately discern that Timothy was the one who had apanied her?


    A flicker of hesitation crossed Connor’s face.


    Could it be that Connor was familiar with Timothy due to Maya’s longstanding affection for him?


    Naturally, revealing such a connection to his sister was out of the question.


    After a brief pause, Connor responded, “The registration and payment details disyed the name


    ‘Timothy.‘ A single nce was enough for me to recognize it.”


    A sudden realization dawned on Mia. She hadn’t been aware that Timothy had also taken care of her


    medical


    expenses.


    She delicately touched her belly, feeling a wave of gratitude for running into Connor. Without his


    unexpected appearance, concealing her pregnancy today would have been a challenge.


    If Timothy had urged Mia to follow the prescribed medication, she might have feltpelled to disclose


    the truth for the safety of her unborn child.


    Connor’s attention turned to Mia’s belly. “Mia, are you nning to keep the baby?”


    Mia’s hand paused, her resolve evident. “Yes, Connor, I’ve decided to keep this child. I’ll work tirelessly


    to make sure we have everything we need.”


    “It’s not just about the finances, Mia. Why would you want to keep the child of such a scoundrel?”


    “Because, for the first time. I won’t be alone,” Mia confessed.


    A sudden pang gripped Connor’s heart. He momentarily shielded his face before regaining his


    composure. “If that’s what you truly want, then so be it.”


    “By the way, Connor, I haven’t shared my pregnancy with anyone, not even Aunt Patricia. Can you help


    me keep it confidential?”


    “Of course. And for now, it might also be wise not to inform Dominic. He may be understanding most of


    the time, but he can be impulsive. I don’t want him to push you into any hasty decisions about the


    pregnancy,” Connor agreed.


    “Don’t take this the wrong way, but Dominic may have concerns about you taking on the role of a single


    mother,” Connor advised.

    Mia nodded appreciatively. “I understand, Connor. Thank you.”


    For Mia, she wasn’t just facing single motherhood–she was also navigating theplexities of being


    an unwed mother.


    In many ways, the two roles seemed intertwined.


    Yawning slightly, Mia felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her. She shifted her gaze to Connor’s pocket


    and remarked, “Connor, noticed your phone lighting up earlier. Did someone try to call you?”


    ncing briefly at his phone, Connor noted a missed call from Maya.


    A hint of remorse flickered in his eyes as he casually pocketed the device. “It’s not urgent. Anyway, you


    should prioritize staying hydrated and getting some rest.”


    Heeding his advice, Mia took a few sips of water before settling down to rest.


    Connor lingered nearby. As his gaze drifted momentarily to Mia’s belly, a surge of emotions welled up


    within him.


    Heaven forbid he ever discovered the identity of the child’s father!


    Should the truthe to light, there would undoubtedly be severe repercussions.


    The mere thought filled Connor with a boiling rage.


    As Genevieve approached the infusion room to speak to Connor, he emerged, interjecting, “What’s the


    matter?”


    “Dr. Lane, there’s someone here to see you. She ims to be your sister,” Genevieve ryed.


    A frown creased Connor’s forehead. “I’m preupied now and don’t have the time.”


    Connor harbored deep reservations about the Barrett family at the moment.


    Just moments ago, Timothy had gone out of his way to apany Mia to the hospital.


    Would someone of Timothy’s status, the heir to such a notable family, involve himself with Mia, a mere


    caregiver?


    As a man, Connor could discern Timothy’s underlying motives with rity.


    If it were anyone else, Connor might have overlooked it. But when it concerned Mia, the stakes were


    entirely different.


    How could someone like Timothy be deemed suitable for his sister?


    However, just as Connor was about to turn away, he caught sight of Maya emerging from the adjacent


    elevator, and their eyes met in a direct gaze.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
